Halo Reach Reveal Thread - Matchmaking/Multiplayer Details Revealed

Nice. I will miss the beautiful bubble in Reach. I'll be really disappointed if there isn't an ability in Reach that totally modifies a little part of the map on the fly like the bubble did.
I never think to use equipment or I might have some of those moments :lol

Phew :lol

Wow, if you so desperate to "beat" my lame non-efforts and willing to secretly PM folks to accept your "superior" beards, then by all means, be my guest. I hearby relinquish any future avatar-bearding efforts onto your more than capable lap. :lol

Nope.

Nope.

There were no secret beard PMs, I promise :lol

Dani, I have respect for you. But making avatars just isn't your thing.

I hail from IGN, where I've made a few hundred avatars, and there used to be competitions, with 50-some categories one could enter avatars in. One would receive medals for getting the gold, silver, bronze, etc in any given category. People made tutorials about how to make them, how to eliminate backgrounds, how to use effects, color modifications, how to use spacing, etc... Competition was infused into my blood there :lol

But I didn't remake any of the ones you made. I just thought it was funny that when someone asked Letters to make their icon, you tried to steal his thunder. Kind of ironic you're blaming me :lol



I was "checking to see if it's one I made" as in, one of the Reach screenshot icons I made, like the one Demoncarnotaur is wearing:

The only avatars I've put facial hair on are mine:

You're the fucking worst. Go back to IGN and stick to playing online Wii games because as bad a poster as you are, you're a worse Halo player.

Serious business
Chill dude or I'll threaten to unleash more poorly made avatars onto the world. I wasn't being the slightest bit serious. :lol

Ack, just realised we're a full work week away from new information. =\

Brian said we wouldn't have to wait until Friday to hear more about invasion. In addition, don't the embargoes for the press who got to play the game last week get lifted like tuesday or Wednesday this week?

We'll probably have plenty of content to dig through all the up to Beta from this week forward. Only 2 weeks left :D

I am chill bro. Just trying to defend myself when you accused me of something I didn't do :)

Oh, Eazy, when I played against you, I had been playing for hours already and was pretty tired. But ok :D

Did he? Awesome, I must have missed it. Good to know.

From what I've heard, there was a one week embargo put on the media for their visit, so Wednesday/Thursday sounds right, I think.

Can't believe it's only 2 weeks. Insane. Two more BWU's to bring everyone up to full speed. Yep, tons incoming. :D

Just to think, after the Beta ends, about four weeks after that is E3 and what will be Reach's big feature/Campaign blowout. Too awesome.

Invasion sounds like a nice diversionary departure from regular Halo, almost like a second game (like Firefight levels of differentiation). I would love to know if it's possible that they can (or we, the players, can in future Customs when it's released) use the Invasion spawning system in other game modes. I'm surprised Generator Defence doesn't use that spawn system. Hopefully we can be allowed to fire some questions off to Urk for answering.

Ah, it wasn't just you though. I think it was the way everything spiraled:lol Just seems as if there were some rather displeased posts in here that stemmed from a joke. Not really meaning to intrude too much seeing as how I generally just lurk in this thread and don't post much.

I'm just both critical and defensive. Not the best combination :lol

It happens I suppose. Wouldn't be much of an internet forum without disagreement, even if it was just over avatars:lol

Spoiled rotten and loving it. :D

The past few months have been rough, you can only read so many updates featuring cryptic hints and vague descriptions. Then suddenly it starts trickling out, getting faster and faster and coming in at a steadily increasing volume.

By all rights we're pretty much drowning in information at this moment but we're addicts. We want more even if it kills us. We'd respawn with a grin. :D

We'll get to publish our articles on Wednesday here in Finland, so maybe Tuesday for across the pond.

Thanks for the heads up. Can I ask if there will be videos (well from your site)? Sorry if answering that is prohibited. I'm doubtful but no harm in hoping.
 
I cant wait till I can join in on the customs again. Those clips looks good.

I really am going to miss the Bubble most out of anything in Halo 3 - I hope we still see it in some form somewhere somehow (armour lock doesnt count).


Edit: Jellyfish I dont think long posts are a problem, I must admit when I have 5 pages to catch up on I do skim read a lot, but your posts have never come across the wrong way to me.

:lol I would accept that title.

In all seriousness I haven't been that much of a sheep lately, I was for the first 2 years I posted on here only because I posted in the official Oblivion thread about how I wasn't that blown away by the game and then got flamed for like two pages...I was like ok maybe I should sit back and pay attention what not to do in GAF.

I have learned somewhat and now post more often. I am glad I post more but still most people don't read or pay attention to my post...I don't blame them I tend to be long winded...this post for example, it just doesn't know when to end. :D

Edit: Also anyone on H3 right now that wants to party up?
tl;dr :D
I know you're not a sheep, I was poking fun. And your posts are not the kind I skip over.

But armor lock looks so damn awesome! I much prefer it to the bubble shield.

Desmond needs a beard. Please. :)

Well, I don't think there will be any videos from us. I have capturing equipment home, so that's why I'd really want to have a F&F invite. They did show us a video before we got play ourselves, but I have no idea when they'll release that publicly.

If not having a bubble shield in Reach is going to stop me from getting embarrassed by an invis holding a bomb, then I salute the Bubble Shield farewell. :)

Beard avatars? You guys are nuts. :lol

Hey man, be careful, I will beard CoCo if it comes to that.

The new hammer looks beastly, but I was under the impression that there would be no brutes on reach. So I'm still baffled as to how they will tie that in.

I'm also loving the new detail on the laser, it seems a lot more functional than the last iteration.

They showed Brutes in the 'Once More Unto The Breach' ViDoc:

That was a Halo 3 Vidoc. I guess Brutes in Reach is possible after all they were at Harvest, but im hoping Bungie gives them a good backstory and explanation for not being in future games. Maybe theyre in charge of a important attack in Reach and fail so get relegated to being the Elites bitches. :lol

Bungieware that was you in the video! Ive seen that video before and was like WTF at the strafe.

Nope, it's from the first Reach Vidoc, and they did show Reach stuff.

Anyway I dont remember seeing that in any Reach vidoc, what timeframe was it at?
